Get the Golden Gubby in Gubby Tower Defense
To obtain the Golden Gubby, you’ll need to complete the Homeless Conqueror questline. This task requires you to clear Medium Mode solo, without using Eco Towers or Advanced Towers. Sounds tricky? That’s because it is. The real challenge begins at wave 35, when the powerful Duke Gubby spawns. His constant stuns and reinforcements can wipe your field if you’re not well-prepared.
Best Team to Get Golden Gubby
The Duke Gubby is the final hurdle. He has high HP, calls in backup units, and regularly stuns your towers—making timing and unit placement critical. While managing his reinforcements is doable with good team setup, the real problem is his stun ability. If he uses it too often, your towers will be down long enough to cause failure. Here are the units you should use:
- Trickshot Gubby – Cost: $250
- Pancake Gubby – Cost: $300
- Swubby – Cost: $800
- Fat Gubby – Cost: $1,000
- Mafia Gubby – Cost: $1,400
Each Waves Guide to Get Golden Gubby
Waves 1–20
- Enable autoskip to speed things up.
- Start by placing two Swubbys in the corners of the blue loop.
- Upgrade both to level 3.
- Then place three Mafia Gubbys around the red loop’s edge and level them to 3.
Waves 20–30
- Max out your Mafia Gubbys first.
- Add four Fat Gubbys into the blue square (alongside your Swubbys).
- Focus on maxing your Swubbys before upgrading the Fat Gubbys.
- Place four Trickshot Gubbys near the connecting path between the red and blue loops. Set them to target Strong.
- Add Pancake Gubbys along the intersection near the first loop.
At this stage, most of your units should be upgraded. Start saving cash and get ready for the final phase.
Waves 30–35
- Once the Duke Gubby spawns, your positioning becomes key.
- As soon as enemies leave the range of your early-loop towers, sell those units and rebuild them further along the path, near your Mafia Gubbys.
- Keep repeating this repositioning process so you always have active units where the Duke is headed.
- Spam as many units as you can in the final loop and level them up fast.
- Surviving this phase heavily depends on RNG due to the stun effects. Stay alert and react fast.
The Golden Gubby is a rewarding unit both for damage and income, and completing the questline is a major milestone in Gubby Tower Defense. While the fight against Duke Gubby can be brutal thanks to his stun abilities, the right unit setup and strategic repositioning can make the difference. It’s all about preparation—and a little bit of luck. Stick to this guide, and you’ll increase your chances of unlocking one of the game’s best units.
